How to play it

✓

Don't telegraph taunt

Signal your taunt and she dashes out and trades back with her Q: she reads the wind-up.

✓

Disguise the taunt

Hover at max taunt range, then backstep right before you throw it so she can't dash-dodge it.

✓

Grind her down

Keep taking short trades until she's too low to fight back, then commit for the kill.

✕

Never dump your last Empowered Q into her W shield as she leaves the taunt: she spams it and it just gets absorbed.
